Focusing on moments of exchange between acoustic theories and evolving practices in fiction, medicine, psychiatry, psychology, philosophy, animal studies, and religion, this study ranges from Eliot's Middlemarch to Du Maurier's Trilby to demonstrate how the boundaries of the human were challenged by new sound technologies in the Victorian period.
